Seat unit on mine came from Ricambi Weiss.Excellent value for money.Requires a small amount of fitting,but no cutting of the subframe.Im using the Strada seat pad,so your weight is on the frame.

Happy Hunting.

It's probably not worth the trip to Italy, i've had my Strada for 2 years now and in that time i've seen about 4 or 5 good SP's come up for sale, so if I were you i'd wait for a good UK bike to come up. Keep checking here, ebay and classicmotorcycles site and you'll find one. As for the performance difference, not a lot on the road. It's more about the exclusivity of ownership to be honest. Plus if you do get ans SP you'll probably be real scared to use it hard whereas a strada, although quite rare now in itself, isn't impossible to source parts for and fix up in the event of blow up / accident. Mine's got SP forks and an ohlins shock, if you add a single seat and a better motor like Rob then I think you'll have a more useable every day bike which still turns heads. Cheers, Lyndsay. Ps...keep the faith!

Sorry Dave, can't do Tuesday (thought Wednesday was mentioned - or Thurs?)

Maybe go look at the SP4 first, then if you don't buy it get back to me. I'm in no panic to sell.

Best of luck
Steve

Thats not right Dave as they only ever came with white frames- but its probably just been painted - but that then begs the question why ?!. I'm assuming its got the plaque etc ?
